Tetris Ultimate

Battle is a versus mode against the computer or another player.

There are four difficulty levels for the computer.

Battle Ultimate is a versus mode that introduces power-ups to clear lines, have the grid scroll sideways, explode blocks, or shower opponents with blocks to remain the last one standing.

Power-ups are gained by clearing lines that have symbols.

Endless lets you play up to level 30, with a faster speed for each new level.

Marathon is the classic mode where you need to clear a number of lines to reach a new level with faster speed, with fifteen levels in total.

Sprint is about clearing 40 lines as quickly as possible.

Ultra provides three minutes to achieve a high score.

Not all game modes are available right away.

Endless for instance is only unlocked after completing Marathon.

Multiplayer is supported both offline and online, for up to four players and game types such as Marathon or Endless.

Players can also work together or co-op or in a team to clear lines on a grid that is larger than the standard one.

There is a leveling system with belts based on the player's performance, also used for online matchmaking.

The core gameplay remains unchanged.

Pieces can be moved left and right, drop quickly, or are rotated.

The next piece is shown and it also possible to hold on to one to use it at a later time.

The game includes an in-game store for additional content and generates a Tetris Self diagram, an AI-controlled version of your playing style and performance friends can play against when you are offline.

By enabling Tetris Live you open up your games for other players to join.

Game options include enabling hold pieces, using the 7-bag or the classic selection for tetrominoes, toggling wall kicks and T-spins, and altering the time it takes for a piece to lock

Tetris Ultimate for Nintendo 3DS is currently worth €22.11 loose, €11.95 complete in box, and €24.51 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Tetris Ultimate has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Tetris Ultimate, loose is €22.11 and CIB is €11.95 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Tetris Ultimate is currently worth €22.11 loose, versus €20.69 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
